MOSTS TRIAL.
Witnesses Deny That He Used the Vio-
lent Language Charged.

Witnesses Deny That He Used the Vio-
lent Language Charged.
NEW YORK, Nov 2s-The trial of Jo-
hann Most, the Anarchist, was resumed to-
day. The court room was thronged, and
many women were present, but there was a
noticeable dimunition in the glare of red
ribbons and flowers displayed Frederick
Harting, the first witness, testified that he
went into saloon, in the rear of which
Most was making his speech, and attracted
by curiosity, went into the meeting held
there. He,said Most did not use the violent
language charged against him. He had
never seen Most before, and was not an
Anarchist, but might yet become one.
Herman StrelitZ, reporter, formerly Of
the Leader and now ON the VolkS Zeitu1tg,
testified that he heard Most's speech, and
that he began it with "Fellow Citizens, )" not
Brother Anarchists" as was alleged. He
said Most threatened no immediate revenge,
but accused States Attorney Grinnell and
Judge Gary of the murder of the Chicago
Anarchists. He also accused Mr.. Powderly
and Henry George of their murder for turn
ing the Knights of Labor from the Anarch-
lists. The witness said Most spoke in a sor-
rowful tone. Every word came from his
heart and went to the heart. The witness
said he was a Socialist, and that he did not
believe God bothered about such trihing
thing as perjury.
Gustave Stephan and Siegfried Rosenz
weig testified that they heard Most's speech
and that it did not contain the incendiary
language alleged. The latter said he did
not whether he is an Anarchist or not, and did
not know exactly know what anarchy was,
although he has been studying the subject
for eight years. He testified that Dreyfus,
the reporter who testified against Most, left
the meeting quarter Of an hour before it
ended. Judge Cowing said he would hold a
night session, but Lawyer Howe told him
he intended to call only one more witness,
Most himself, and the court adjourned at
the usual hour till tomorrow
At the afternoon session Judge Cowing
announced that he had received threaten
ing letter 1t was one that he should dis
regard The letter read:
If you charge against Herr Most you will die.
Death for all officers is their due. LIBERTY
Another letter, unsigned and containing
no threat, reminded the Judge that Sharp
should go to Sing Sing before Most is again
imprisoned.

CHICAGO'S ANARCHISTS.
THE ARBEITER ZEITUNG BEGINS
TO BRISTLE AGAIN.

Intimations that lncendiary Speeches
May be Prohibited at Meeting of
tho Turner's Provoke a Hotheaded
Editorial-Men of Mosts Own Tx
Testify in His Behalf.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2s-The following ex-
tracts from an article in the Sunday issue
Of the Arbeiter Zeitung are interesting at
the present juncture, as there has been some
question If a celebration such as the Central
Labor Union and a number of singing and
turning societies intend to have Dec. 10
would lead to any trouble. Referring to
the attempts to prevent any speaking at
such meeting the paper says: "The COM
mittee that has rented Battery D. Hall for
grand celebration Dec 10 is compelled to
fight this insidious mob which in full con
sciousness of its guilt dare not approach its
honest opponents openly, but only tries to
obstruct their way by trickery. 1t is said
that such things can happen, but it
is elevating that Friday evening
the delegates of nine turning societies
declared as one man. 1T is our duty as
Turner's to protect the freedom of speech as
thirty years ago our brothers of the Cincin-
natl Turngemude considered it their sacred
duty to protect the noble Wendell Phillips
with their bodies against a mob that had
majority, but was governed by stupidity
and villainy AS they were ready to give
up blood and life for the constitution and
the liberty of speech guaranteed by it. they
will also stand fast and true when John
Clay steps on the platform and speaks to
the working people of the past, present and
future Those were true Turner's that
spoke in that strain, and we entertain firm
hope that these Turner's also, who are in a
minority in the so-called conservative
societies, will be sound on this
question, and that they will also know
where their place is if anybody, whoever it
may be, should make frivolous reasonable
attempt, an attempt deserving of death, to
outrage the rights of the people. But it
will not come to this
The article goes on to say that the Citi-
zens' Association will not let it come to this
for lack of courage, and that that organiza-
ton would not so soon after Nov. IL PRO
woke riot, the termination of which would
be at least doubtful"
The Anarchists of this city have prepared
a rabid clrcnlar for distribution among the
wcrkingmen here 1t is headed with the
single word Eight The circular de-
nounces the Anarchists trial and execution
and declares that nothing but force
will win. 1t urges preparation
for revolution" "WhoeVer joins us, says
the circular, "must take all the conse-
quences upon himself, and must be ready to
sacrifice everything for the cause, even
should it be his life.n

A HOTEL BOILER BURSTS.
ONE WOMAN KILLED OUTRIGHT
AND MANY INJURED.

Fifteen or Twenty Feet of the Rear
Wall Blown Out to Height of Four
Stories Freezing of Pipe Supposed
to Have Caused the Disester.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2s.-A shocking acci-
dent occurred at the Kirby House this
morning. The boiler used for heating water
exploded, entirely wrecking the rear end of
the building, burying a number of people
beneath the ruins, fatally wounding several
and, killing one outright. The
explosion occurred at $50 o'clock. The
boiler which exploded was hot water
boiler behind the kitchen range. The ex-
plosion blew out portion of the rear wall
Of the building 30 feet in width and extend
ing from the ground to the floor Of the
fourth story. One end of the dining-room
was wrecked, ali the tables being knocked
over and the dishes spilled. Most of the
guests had finished breakfast. Among those
who remained panic reigned, but as far as
known none OF the guests we're hurt. The
kitchen of the hotel was completely wrecked.
GIRLS CAUGHT IN THE CRASH.
There were about dozen girls in the
room at the time and all were buried be-
meath mass of brick and mortar The fire
department was on the scene within min
ute after the explosion. The following girls
were taken out from the ruins badly injured:
Anna Kennedy, assistant cook; Carrie
Olsen, dining-room girl; Julia Field Meyer,
dining-room girl; Nora Dougherty, dining
room girl; Mary Arbuckle, pastry cook.
All were so badly injured, mostly by
bruises, that DR.. Marks said he could not
tell whether they would live or not
Minnie Thompson, girl employed in the
Sentinel bindery across the alley, was badly
cut about the head by flying glass that was
blown in by the explosion.
THE PROPRIETOR INJURED.
MIR. Beckwith, one of the proprietors of
the hotel who was in the rear part of the
building, near where the explosion took
place, was hit in the head by a flying mis-
sile, which knocked him down. He is able
to be about
The alley back of the hotel was piled to a
depth of or feet with debris from the
wrecked building. The north wall of the
dining-room was blown in for a distance of
Is or 20 feet The fremen got water upon
the ruins in time to extinguish the flames
which started, before they had gained much
headway.
The accident was probably caused by the
freezing of the feed pipe supplying the
boiler with water.
Those whose injuries are most serious are
Mary Arbuckle, Anna Kennedy and Carrie
Olsen. all of whom are terribly burned i'll
addition to the bruises which they rec ived.
There is no hope that Carry Olsen will re-
cover.
The following were also injured: Miss
Maggie Doran, kitchen girl; Alice Burke,
a pantry girl: Mary Kroeger, kitchen girl; ;
Miss Mary Levy, chambermaid, and Eva
Frederickson, dining-room girl.
AT II o'clock the firemen found the dead
body of Mrs. E. M. Gage, assistant cook,
under the ruins. 1t was shockingly
mangled.
Frank Hempel, head cook, who was at
first reported killed, escaped alive, but is
badly hurt; one arm and three ribs are
broken, and he is badly injured about the
head

COMMERCE. BY MAIL.
Mexico to Make New Regulations Con
corning Customs.

Mexico to Make New Regulations Con-
corning Customs.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Hon Nicholas
N. Bell, Superintendent of Foreign Mails,
said to-day that the new postal convention
concluded with Mexico last April, was
working admirably, Large numbers of
small packages are exchanged between the
two countries, and traffic Of this sort is con-
stantly increasing. The regulations of the
Mexican Customs Service, imposing fine
of double the duty upon goods imported
without accompanying certified invoices,
has checked this stream of trade. We do
not require certified invoices with dutiable
packages imported by mail, although we
have both ad valorem and specific duties.
When the Mexican customs officials, under
an old fashioned law, began to levy fines on
the non invoiced packages imported by mail
American merchants complained to our
Post Office Department Thereupon Mr..
Bell asked the Mexican government to
change its customs regulations so as to make
them conform to ours, which could be the
more readily done as all the Mexican duties
are specific. To-day M. Bell received
letter from Senor Romero, the Mexican
Minister here, stating that the Mexican
government would at once make
new regulations confolmable to
the wishes expressed bv the
United States government There will,
therefore, hereafter be no obstruction to
the commerce by mail between the two
countries. Mr.. Bell has concluded like con-
ventions with the authorities of Jamaica
and the Barbados, and is in negotiation to
the same end with all the Central and
South American States

MORE WORK THAN EVER.
COTTON SEED OIL.
Wonderful Development OF the Indus
try in Decade

Wonderful Development OF the Indus
try in a Decade.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-All the wit
nesses examined before the Interstate Com
mission to-day in the Standard Oil cases
had been sworn and examined before, and
their evidence was, in great part, in ex-
planation or elaboration of that already
brought out Mr. Murray, General Freight
Agent Of the Iron Mountain and Missouri
Pacific lines, gave, incidentally, some inter
eSting facts about cotton and oil.
ALL IN TEN YEARS.
Ten years ago, he said, the only demand
for this product was from abroad, whence
it came back to us as olive oil. The inaugu-
ration of the tank car system of transport
ing petroleum TO the South afforded a cheap
means of getting cotton seed oil to the North
IN tank cars, which would otherwise return
empty, and the result has been an enormous
development of crude oil production in all
parts of the cotton growing regions.
TANKS IN BIG DEMAND.
Other witnes ses had testified generally
that fully 90 per cent. Of the tank cars sent
South came back filed with either cotton
seed oil or turpentine. Mr.. Murray said
that they now sometimes have even to send
empty tanks South to bring back the cotton
seed Gil He said that notwithstanding the
enormously rapid growth of the crude oil
production, only fraction of the available
material is as yet consumed, the larger part
of it still going to waste.
FOSTERING THE INDUSTRY.
To foster this new industry the railroads
transport the oil which is worth four or five
times as much per gallon as petroleum, at
considerable less rates than are given On
the latter. They are better enabled to do
this as the manufacture OF cotton seed oil
brings incidentally other patronageto the
railroads, such as cotton seed 10 the manu-
factory and of cotton seed cake to the sea-
board for shipment abroad.
The evidence in the Standard Oil cases is
now all in. Further proceedings are post
poned till Jan. 16, when arguments will be
heard

Senate and Chamber of Deputies will meet
on Friday at Versailles to elect a successor
to President Grevy. President Grevy's
message of resignation will be short He

sequences of his retirement. Elections

Lille to fill vacancies in the Chamber of
Deputies In Auxerre the Radical candi-
date, NJ. Hervie, was successful. In Arras,
M. Camecasse (Republican) was elected. In
Lille there were two vacancies to fill, and
Republican candidates were successful in
both cases.
In the Chamber of Deputies today NJ
Rouvier moved for an adjournment of the
House until Thursday, at the same time
stating that the government would then
make an important communication.
THE RADICAL VOTE.
NJ. Clemenceal, in an interview with NJ
Flouquet, pointed out the inadvisabihty of
dividing the Radical vote between NJ.
Flouquet and NJ de Freycinet. M. Flou,
quet replied that he neither desired to offer
himself as a candidate for the Presidency,
nor refused to stand for that office. He left
himself, he said, IN the hands OF his friends,
who were entirely responsible

Thirteen deputies and Senators waited up
on President Grevy to-day and expressed
their readiness to join a new Cabinet. They
undertook to obtain dissolution of Parlia-
ment by the Senate, and urged NJ. Grevy to
stay at his post and save France from the
dangers which threatened her. The Presi-
dents response is not known.
